Irish Fried Cabbage with Bacon Recipe 2024
This recipe for fried cabbage with bacon involves cooking chopped cabbage in the flavorful drippings of bacon until it becomes tender and sweet. Afterward, crumble the cooked bacon over the cabbage and generously season with plenty of black pepper to create a hearty and delicious side dish.
Ingredients:
- One 12-ounce packet of bacon
- ¼ cup of bacon fat
- One little cabbage head, cored and cut finely
- to taste, grind black pepper
Instructions:
1: Prepare the ingredients:
- Remove the core by slicing the cabbage thinly.
- Dice the bacon into tiny bits.
- Slice the onion thinly, then chop the garlic.
2: Cook the bacon.
- Cook the chopped bacon in a big skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it’s crispy and browned, which should take approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a dish covered with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
3: Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the butter and allow it to melt in the same skillet that contains the bacon drippings.
- After adding the onion slices to the skillet, sauté them for about five minutes, or until they are transparent.
- Add the minced garlic and stir. Cook for one more minute, or until fragrant.
4: Add the Cabbage:
- When the onions and garlic are in the pan, add the thinly sliced cabbage.
- To taste, add salt and pepper for seasoning.
- Cook the cabbage for ten to fifteen minutes, stirring often, or until it has wilted and turned soft. If you want it to be softer, you may cook it longer.
5: Combine with Bacon:
- Return the fried bacon to the skillet and heat until the cabbage reaches your desired softness.
- After thoroughly mixing all the ingredients, simmer them for a further two to three minutes to allow the flavors to merge.
6: Serve
- Place the bacon-topped fried cabbage on a platter for serving.
- Use a lot of black pepper to season.
- If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- As a filling and tasty side dish, serve it hot.
